Wow Denman

Great to see him so fit and well enjoying his parade and hearing the spectators give him a rousing welcome. Bet they enjoyed and will remember that far more than poor Kauto's effort at Christmas.

^^^^ Agree with this :)

And I wonder if we have maybe seen the Gold cup winner in Silviniaco Conti? He has to go the festival with a serious chance :)

I so agree, Kauto looked a shadow of his former self whereas Denman looked like the Denman we all know and love.
 
He looks great, I thought it really showed the different ideas of 'fit' he looked in top condition but so different to when he was racing.
I did wonder if he would fly buck her off at the end of the parade, but if he did RUK doidn't show it, she rode him beautifully.
 
Agree he looked really good and seemed to really enjoy himself and was nice to see how pleased with him his rider looked.

Wonder if he/ Kauto will parade at Cheltenham?
 
Im loving all the "he looks great" comments that are appearing - Id love to know what people think hes going to look like - hes with a friend of mine,being looked after as well as she looks after all her horses (always has and always will!) and hes having a fantastic life. Roll on when he goes team chasing, hopefully he will be as good as Dennis was for her.

I would have expected nothing less, have been following his journey via H&H, Mr P Barber placed him with the right person IMO. Cant wait to see him team chasing, his display today was wonderful and so heartwarming.

Didn't see him yesterday but have to say I love reading her blog about what they have been up to
 
Absolutely not overkill, sensible safety precautions. His enthusiasm for the occasion made it a great thing to see, without the extra gear it might have been dangerous for him and his rider, and who would have wanted to risk that? He didn't exactly look miserable :-))))

Did anyone think his bridle etc and spurs were over kill, on a fb page they are blasting this rider for this and her lack of finesse. Its seems Im the voice in the wilderness:rolleyes::D

There always has to be one doesnt there!!
Why cant people just enjoy the sight of a fantastic fit horse,obviously enjoying life and the rider taking appropriate precautions for her own safety and that of the public.
This lady is no numpty and knows what shes doing.Her sucess with Earthmover proves her capabilities and I really admire her for taking on such a high profile horse that the general public think they own. Please everybody less of the cattiness and just enjoy!
 
I bet many of those on the FB page are also those slating the Martin Clunes' programme on here too.

Shazbat says it all for me. Better safe than sorry IMHO and better like that than being sawed away at in only a snaffle.
 
Just caught it on 4od, lovely to see him looking so well. I don't think you will be a voice in the wilderness amongst sensible horse folk Dg, suspect the ones who were complaining on fb would have bailed out when he started jogging!

Absolutely.
 
I had said he wasnt called the tank for nothing:D and the reasons for the spurs is because I suspect as Paul Nicholls used to say he was a monkey and his biggest fear was he would refuse to race hence why he was always led in to the start.
